rerrIble DEATH from HyarophonIa.

Terrible Death from HydrOphobta.
Nine weeks ago last Saturday, Jesse,
a nine year old son Of John La Rue, the
car inspector on the Belvidere Division
of the Pennsylvania railroad, living in
Trenton, was bitten by dog, one of the
worthless ours which are allowed to run
the streets of the city unmuzzled at all
seasons of the year. The dog buried
his teeth in the calf of the boys leg.
When the family physician, who was out
of town several hours, arrived, the fami-
~ represent that he said it would be
useless to cauterize the wound, since the
poison. IL there was any, must ut that
time have entered the system. He adj
vised cleansing and poulticing, and in a
few days the wound healed nicely. The
boy experienced no i'll effect from it
afterward, and he went to school and
played and romped as usual.
His health seemed excellent until Fri
day morning at 10 o'clock, when his
mother was Mortified to see him show
signs of hydrophobia. He grew furious
at the presentation of a glass of water,
and in q peculiar conyu.sion began to
run around the house.
The father and an elder brother of
the boy we're summoned, and they at
once took him to physician in Carpen-
tersville, who has a vide reputation for
destroying the evil effect1 of dog bites
The doctor said frankly that he had
never had case of developed hydro
phobia. He feared il was too late to
save the boy. lie gave him dose of
medicine that quoted his nerves and adj.
vised his removal home. Going across
streams Of water in the car the boy grew
sick at the stomach, but he asked for
water and drank several glasses Of it..
He was FESTIVE all the way homo, and
when he reached Trenton ho began to
have one convulsion after another. He
ran about with peculiar motion, froth l.
ed at the mouth, barked and seemsd I'M
able to get his breath.
Tho poor child's suffering was heart
breaking 1t utterly unnerved men
not related to him by ties Of blood. BY
advice of physicians he was allowed TO
run where no would. He fell exhausted
many times, but each time arose and
continued in the coEvulsion. Five dcc-
tors witnessed the awful scenes OF the
attack. Ii had many peculiar features,
and will no doubt be fully described for
the benefit of medical men the world
over At o'clock Friday evening the
poor boy suddenly grew quiet, and his
brother carried him up stairs to his
room. He undressed himself, fell upon
his knees and said his prayers as ration
ally and naturally as if he had never
known moments unrest, but as soon
as he touched the bed he was thrown in
to another convulsion.
He was kept in bed, his agony con-
| tinuing Tor hours. At o'clock Satur-
day he again grew quiet, but now it was
the quietness incident to weakness.
His little frame trembled now and then
and he continued TO gasp as if for breath
for nearly another horr, when he was
mercifully released from his torture by
death. The family are well-known,
well.to-do and highly respected, and
have the deep sympathy Of the entire
community.

About Peaches.
The Centre Bridge correspondent of the
Doylestoaon Democrat writes to that paper
as follows:
We have just received favorable ac-
counts in relation to peach growing in
Hunterdon county, N. j., from citizen
of this vicinity, who has been pretty
much over said county. From him we
learn that Paul G. Larue, of Baptisttown,
has just sold to dealers 90 acres of peaches,
on the trees, for So ,000-$500 paid down
at the time Of purchase, and the balance
in installments of $500, as the peaches
are removed. The buyers to do their own
picking. Abraham r. Vail and Samuel
Wilson, of Quakertown, N. j., in the
same county, have each rented out 20
acres of their farm land for ten years, at
$12 per acre for each year, for the pur-
pose of peach growing, the renter or les.
see having the privilege of growing inter-
mediate crops while the trees are grow
ing. Both these farmers have Extensive
peach orchards. The travelling agents
arc now offering 55 cents per basket, for
crops as they run, delivered at stations
along the railroad lines. This price is
equivalent to 80 cents in New York city.
It is now believed that with the aid OF
proper fertilizers the life Of the peach
tree can be prolonged to double the usual
period.

Trials by Jury.

1t Is not our purpose to take part in the long
continued discussion as to the quality of Justice
resulting from the jury system, but simply to call
attention to several before the current term
of the supreme Court in this city. In the case of
Bailey VS. City of Belfast, the pltf. sought to re-
cover $4,000 for the value OF the trotting horse
Geo. o.. killed by an accident through an alleged
defect in the highway. The city did not question
the value of the horse, everyone admitting that he
was worth more than $1,000 and that if Mr. Bailey
WAS entitled to Il verdict he was entitled to the
whole amount sued for. The city defence was on
other issues. One of the jurymen said that on the
second ballot three were for the city and nine for
Bailey. The three did not believe Mr.. Bailey en-
titled to verdict but as it nearly nine o'clock
+. NJ. rather than remain out all night they agreed
to verdict, but chaked down the value of the
horse to a small figure.
In the case of Nickerson against the Dwelling
House Insurance Company the jury answered two
questions submitted to them, when the Judge sent
them out with third question and instructed them
how to answer it. The third answer completely
nullitcd the other two. The jurymen believed
that the house in question was burned by the
incendary rs charged, but thought the old lady
ported in the Court proceedings) The verdict
was given through sympathy and against the law
and evidence.
prominent lawyer of Belfast, now deceased,
said he had obtained more vertlicts from juries
where he did not deserve them, than when he had
law and justice on his side.

The Meaning of PaSSagaSSaWakeag,

Among the historical materials procured by the
research and munfcence of Mr.. James p. Baxter,
OF Portland, during his recent sOjOurn abroad, Is
copy of the earliest correct map of Penobscot Bay
known to exist. The original was never printed,
and has remained forgotten in the English archives
until discovered by Mr.. Baxter.
During 1853, as is well known, this section of the
country was formally occupied by body of troops
under the command of Governor Pownall, who
erected the fort which bore his name at the mouth
of Penobscot river. The map referred to was made
by engineers attached to this expedition, and des-
ignates many familiar localities by their present
names
At a distance of thirty miles by land from st.
Georges Fort, which stood on the site of Thomas
tom the surveying party reached the river estu-
airy forming Belfast harbor, and were there met by
the armed vessels. The map indicates this river as
"Taufeguse- wa keag, or Sturgeon Rver,' a delini-
ton which confirms the idea that sturgeon is in
some way connected with or at least forms por-
ton of the old Indian name. Passag has been re-
garelcd derivative from PahsuAus, the Etchemin
word for that fish. In the Indian dialect means
clear, smooth, and keag means place. do not
find the prefix 7dnteguse i'll any Indian vocabulary.
Governor Pownall's journal of the expedition
gives inc name as PduScgNsdrdcEe0g. Upon map
made by order of Governor Bernard, in 1864, it APP
pears as 'Seyaseweset.
Fort Point, indicated as "Wasaumkeag Neck
has a prominent position. The fort, log re'loubt,
garden avenue, and other places are accurately To-
Gated. The exact spot where on the east side of
Penobscot river, sat the top of Il high piked hill
about three miles above marine navigation where
Governor Pownali buried a leaden plate contain
ing his formal certificate of possession in behalf of
the Province OF the Massachusetts Bay, is also de
lineatcd, and by measurements, seems to be in the
